I
chaired
my
first
meeting
today....at
the
noon
time
meeting.
I
was
asked
and
my
first
thought
was
oh
no,
I
am
not
ready...
I
was
honest,
and
told
the
woman
I
have
never
chaired
a
meeting
before
and
was
nervous.
She
encouraged
me
to
chair,
and
that
it
was
a
good
meeting
to
chair
my
first
time
at....so
I
did.
I
was
terrified,
yet
others
came
up
to
me
after
and
said
I
looked
relaxed,
and
comfortable!!
I
am
glad
I
did.
I
shared
part
of
my
story,
the
full
version
would
have
taken
hours....and
it
was
my
first
time
so
I
was
sort
of
feeling
it
out
a
little
bit.
I
was
amazed
at
the
response
I
got.
I
was
told
by
all
that
I
had
a
very
powerful
story,
and
no
one
could
imagine
all
that
I
had
been
through
by
looking
at
me,
and
were
amazed
at
how
I
have
survived
it
all.
I
was
told
that
I
should
keep
sharing
my
story
with
others
because
I
have
an
opportunity
to
help
alot
of
others
by
sharing
my
story,
and
showing
that
no
matter
what
we
can
all
recover.
So
I
am
happy
that
I
was
up
for
the
challenge
today,
and
found
out
that
it
really
wasn't
all
that
hard.
If
any
where
in
the
world
you
can
share
without
judgement
it
is
at
a
meeting
they
all
truly
understand......
